According to a recently released National Governors Association report, cyber security employment is expected to rise by 650,000 employees within the next decade – growth that is projected to be faster than for all other occupations.

As corporations are increasingly developing plans to cope with terrorism, cybercrime, pandemics, and other threats to their operations, they will require a workforce trained in the very disciplines this college is designed to study and teach.

"Attending the University at Albany for my MBA was definitely the right choice for me! It afforded me the flexibility to attend classes with enough versatility to have top-level, full-time employment, earn my MBA and Information Security Certificate in two years, and maintain the ability to take part in my family as an active wife and mother. I don’t know if I could have accomplished this in any other program, at any other university!"
